How Our Scoring System Works

For each health goal, we assigned a score to each recipe and each ingredient. This helps you better understand the correlation that medical research is suggesting between foods and benefits to various health goals. Our scoring system is based on REAL RESEARCH published on pubmed.gov. This is a website that curates over 25 million different biomedical journals.

OVERVIEW

Almonds are tree nuts that come from the almond tree. Almond trees are native to the middle east, although most the almonds we consume in America are grown in California.

Almonds are rich in vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. They are also a good source of protein and fiber while low in sugar. Their fats are unsaturated fats.
